Hi all. I am 5 days post op and have 2 questions.

1. I have been up and about more today than any other and now my stomach is hurting more than any other day. Especially around my incisions and deep inside my belly. Sound normal?

2. I am dying for y stomach to feel NOT bloated and fat when I drink (sip).....when can I hope for that?

Thank you all!!!!

about 3-5 more days which is normal after surgery

Get a little, soft pillow and use it to hold against your stomach or prop your tummy when you are sitting or in bed. It helps a lot. Your tummy has had a lot of trauma and needs to be babied.

Thank you both!!!!

I'm 11 days out and just starting to feel normal. Now if I could sleep on my side I'd feel 100%! it just takes time.
